As someone who’s built a lot of data products, yeah, we know immediately. Not because it’s a “dashboard,” but because the data that’s visualized never holds up. Unrealistic metrics are the fastest tell.

i hate binary 'advice'. i was entrusted with a dashboard very early on in my career, and it helped me get many roles. you absolutely can show product thinking through one- as with anything if you were solving a real problem. how are we product designers with such little nuance?

He's absolutely right, having worked on large scale projects, I've experienced this firsthand, the lead designer would never let us touch the dashboard early on, most cases, the main dashboard was actually the last thing we designed and finalized

100%. I've said the same thing before. Dashboards are pretty, but don't showcase any actual thinking. Same with login screens. Just stop.

but only for junior, right? i even made my own dashboard UI template to be downloaded/sale and also real dashboard works and show it all, the real works with case studies of course. So, yeah make sense...

Preach!

this why I only put landing pages in my portfolio Figma’nutsack
